Amalik Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 its different engineering. thats all V engines are used more often and are more efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alien Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Normal engines are called in-line engines. they mostly have 4 cylinders which are all placed in the same orientation. And there is one piston in each cylinder. In 4 cylinders engine, all the pistons move in the same direction... so the camshaft (which is a metal rod rotating to give the output power) will be pushed to rotate by 4 pistons from the same direction. In V engines, the cylinders are placed in a "V" shape. For example in V6 engine, there are 6 cylinders. 3 cylinders are placed on the left side of the "V" and the other 3 on the other side. So, the camshaft will be pushed to rotate by 6 pistons from two different directions... So, now you can imagine how V8, V12 and even W12 engines work... same concept... And there is also opposed engine. cylinders are placed opposite sides. Go find some animations of how engines work on youtube... they are really interesting... and other parts as well like transmissions, differentials... etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
